Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Men must drink with male friends twice a week to stay healthy, study finds

Well, I'm deficient.  I usually get this with female friends instead. Can't find the actual research. So you male stroke survivors need to be out drinking with your buddies twice a week. What is your doctor doing to accomplish that?    

Men must drink with male friends twice a week to stay healthy, study finds


January generally marks the month of New Year’s Resolutions – many times including the vow to swear off alcohol.
But, hold on. Don’t move too quickly.
A new study conducted by the University of Oxford has discovered that for men, going out for a few pints isn’t just fun, it’s downright essential.
In fact, according to this report, men should go out twice a week by necessity to stay healthy.
The study, conducted by Robin Dunbar, a psychologist, and director of Oxford University’s social and evolutionary neuroscience research group, determined that men must physically meet with four friends, two times a week, in order to reap the full benefits of male friendship.
Benefits of strong male friendships include a stronger immune system, the release of endorphins, an overall decrease in anxiety levels, and (apparently) even higher levels of generosity.
Dunbar goes so far as to recommend guys “do stuff” while they socialize, and that going bar crawling for a night reinforces a sense of teamwork and camaraderie.
“Bonds can be formed through a range of activities from team sports to male banter — or simply having a pint with your pals on a Friday night,” Dunbar states.
According to the same study, most men get far less male bonding time than what they require. One in three men in the United Kingdom can’t find the time to meet with friends once a week, and 40% of men are only able to make a “guys’ night” a weekly affair.
Dunbar suggests that despite spending 20% of their day interacting through other means, men need to meet face to face to keep their friendships strong, and meeting for a few pints is the perfect way to achieve this.
So there you have it.
An apparent free pass for the men twice a week, and an opportunity to for the ladies to have a couple nights off from the old man!
